These three paper models are Adepta Sororitas (the Sisters of Battle and formerly known as the Daughters of the Emperor) Repressor, Immolator and Exorcist, from Warhammer 40K series, the papercraft is created by Patoroch.
The Repressor is an Imperial armoured personnel carrier (APC) based on the standard Rhino chassis. The Repressor is used by both the Adeptus Arbites as a riot control and crowd suppression vehicle, and by the Adepta Sororitas as an infantry transport during intense urban battles. The Repressor uses an extensively converted Rhino chassis; the transport compartment has been greatly expanded upon, a raised roof featuring firing slits for the passenger"s weapons has been added, a large dozer blade used to plow through debris and rioting mobs is attached to the front of the vehicle, and the vehicle possesses a small forward cupola-mounted turret. The Adeptus Arbites variant of the Repressor is armed with non-lethal weaponry such as water cannons and grenade launchers that fire stun and gas grenades at angry mobs. When the Adepta Sororitas started to use Repressors near the end of the 40th Millennium they replaced the non-lethal weapons with Storm Bolters and Heavy Flamers.
The Immolator is a flame-thrower tank that is used exclusively by the Adepta Sororitas as a transport and heavy support vehicle. The Immolator is a variant of the common Rhino APC chassis, with the weapon system mounted on the vehicle"s roof. Unlike the Razorback used by the Space Marines, which uses a remote-controlled weapon system, the Immolator needs a Battle-Sister to control the weapon directly. The Immolator is usually armed with Twin-linked Heavy Flamers, but can be armed with other weapons as well. The tank is capable of transporting a squad of up to six members of the Sisterhood into battle, and unlike the Rhino, the Immolator is capable of fighting alongside the Sisters as heavy infantry support. The Immolator is usually slightly better amoured than the basic Rhino. The Immolator"s doors and hatches are often cast to include the Order"s symbol or the Fleur-de-lys, the icon of the Adepta Sororitas. These casts are taken from the great Convent Sanctorum and Convent Prioris on Ophelia VII and Terra. Through ancient contracts with the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Immolator is built exclusively for the Adeptus Ministorum, and is only used by the Sisters of Battle.
The Exorcist is the primary long-range support vehicle of the Adepta Sororitas. Besides the Rhino, the Exorcist is the oldest type of vehicle in service to the Sisterhood, the history of the Exorcist goes back as far as the Age of Apostasy. Some Exorcist tanks in service today originate from that time period, and are heavily venerated and considered sacred by their users. These tanks, of which some are very similar in appearance to the Space Marine Whirlwind missile tank, use ancient technologies that are barely understood by the Adeptus Mechanicus today. Many of these ancient machines have a reputation as being temperamental and difficult, their Machine Spirit requires constant work and prayer in order to keep them battle ready. The Exorcist exists today in two different patterns, the original Prioris Pattern, which originates from the forges of Mars, and the Sanctorum Pattern, which are constructed on Ophelia VII. Due to Mars being the closest Forge World to Terra, and the Emperor himself, any Prioris Pattern Exorcist originating from there is heavily venerated and each vehicle is regarded as a work of art, as much a symbol of the Emperor as a provider of long-range fire support. While the Sanctorum Pattern is the most common pattern it is not not held in as high esteem as the original vehicles, which are blessed from the nearby divine presence of the Emperor when they were constructed.
